For ambitious trumpeters who want to expand their solo repertoire and technique, this 60-page collection (solo parts only, no keyboard accompaniment), of Three Famous Baroque Works for Two Trumpets by Italian composers Vivaldi, Manfredini and Franceschini who wrote brilliantly exciting music for solo trumpets, provides study and performance editions for the three most frequently performed and recorded trumpet duo works of the Baroque era. Each work has a complete set of trumpet parts in C, D, piccolo B-flat and A to provide performers parts for the instrument they prefer to use and practical study material for enhancing transposition capabilities necessary when encountering baroque works published in various keys. Optional trumpet parts for the second movement of the Manfredini Concerto and concluding measures of the third movement of the Vivaldi Concerto are provided.  All have suggested dynamics and no ornamentation except for cadential trills and a single ornament added to the final two measures of the Manfredini Concerto. No keyboard accompaniment parts are provided.

Playable using either B-flat or C trumpets, these two brilliant, short fanfares for two trumpets from 1921 by Manuel de Falla and Erik Satie exhibit two contrasting compositional approaches. The Falla Fanfare for a Festival is reminiscent of his dramatic opening trumpet and timpani fanfare to his Three-Cornered Hat and can be an exciting concert prelude featuring band or orchestra trumpeters and percussionists. Timpani parts are included for use with either C or B-flat trumpets. The subtly humorous Sonnerie by the eccentric, but influential French iconoclast, includes translation of Satie’s witty written commentary for the duet. Careful execution of the highly edited music will enliven the musical humor and performers will be amused with his score comments. Both fanfares have individual parts and a duo score. The audio file is an actual trumpet performance of both fanfares and not a computer playback of the score.
